Summary of the data quality shift for Monday March 13 to Wednesday March 15, 2017 (inclusive):
- Excellent duty cycle of 75.44% overall. Monday 3/13 and Tuesday 3/14 were very stable and uneventful up to the start of planned maintenance, which took place during the late afternoon and evening on Tuesday.
- During the maintenance window, flow sensors for the laser head were replaced which will hopefully help prevent lock loss from PSL tripping.
- Wednesday 3/15 saw high winds which generated ground motion and affected the BNS range.
- PI modes caused two lock losses on Wednesday 3/15.
- Nothing else appears to stand out from this shift; it was a pretty quiet couple of days overall.
